We've always been an open book about where we stand on the issues and would happily answer questions from anyone who asks them in good faith. We can't help however, when people would rather make up strawman arguements to more easily demonize us and our (unfortunately for them) boring and non-extremist beliefs.

Our main beliefs and values are:

1. We are pro-gun for everyone—not just certain groups or people we agree with.
2. The right to self-defense is innate, regardless of who you are or where you're from.
3. Armed gays don't get bashed.
4. Most issues are nuanced and most people can be reasoned with.
5. Transphobia (like most shitty beliefs) can be eliminated either with perspective, or lead.
6. Buying a gun is not enough. You need to practice with it, or you're just a liability to yourself and everyone around you.
7. Mutual aid is community defense. If your version of preparedness doesn’t include taking care of each other, it’s incomplete.
8. Self-defense doesn’t start with a trigger pull. De-escalation, awareness, and conflict avoidance are just as vital.
9. No one is coming to save you, and some of the people who show up might make it worse. Plan accordingly.
10. We’re not here to prove anything to the gun industry. We’re here to build something better in spite of it.
